Experienced faculty mentors will guide students in 10 weeks of undergraduate research to develop research skills and independence. Projects include materials for energy storage production, energy-efficient material production, and storage of energy waste products. Lunch-and-learn meetings will cover responsible conduct of research, technical presentation skills, and habits of mind. Weekly field trips will introduce students to local energy-related companies technologies. Application deadline: ...

Engineered Bioactive Interfaces and Devices focuses on the novel design of architectures that interact with biological systems and promote the desired response. These advanced architectures have numerous applications ranging from tissue engineering, to sensing systems, to drug delivery. REU students will have the opportunity to learn about three cross-disciplinary research themes that form the foundation of the research in this area. They include 1) Novel Bioactive Architectures , 2) Cell/Protein ...

The impacts of changing environmental conditions are becoming increasingly apparent with sea-level rise and increases in the number of extreme weather-related events such as floods, wildfires, droughts and storms. An interdisciplinary approach to solving the complex interconnections of the atmosphere, oceans, and land is needed. Urban systems also play an important role, as approximately 80% of the U.S. population lives in cities, and cities are especially prone to negative effects such as ...

The intellectual theme of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab REU program is understanding how marine and estuarine ecosystems and living resources respond to disturbance. Under this theme, we provide semi-independent research experiences across disciplines in coastal ecology (plant, invertebrate, fish, mammal), toxicology, microbiology and biological, chemical, physical and geological oceanography. The integration of field and lab-based studies across disciplines, proximity to a range of ecosystems, ...

Since 1990, The Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC) has administered an annual NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in marine science. Each summer, eight selected students spent nine weeks at SPMC conducting original research with a faculty adviser, participating in professional development activities, and engaging in outreach events. At the end of the session, students produce a written and an oral report based on the results of their research. Student research projects ...

The United States NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (COLDEX) is a Science and Technology Center based at Oregon State University with partners across 14 institutions. NSF COLDEX has the mission to: Explore Antarctica for the oldest possible ice core to discover what Earth s climate was like over 1 million years ago Share how our ice core research helps answer questions about the current state of climate change through effective science communication Increase the diversity of future polar ...

This 10-week REU experience will provide participants with an insight into scientific research, graduate school, and diverse STEM careers. Participants will be assigned a faculty mentor and will work closely with this mentor and their lab group to complete a research project focused on plant sciences and genomics. Biology is becoming more data intensive and therefore this opportunity will also provide formal training in computational biology to enable participants to develop skills in this ...

The SURF program is a ten-week, full-time research experience for undergraduates at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute in Jupiter, Florida. The program integrates cutting-edge bioscience research with chemical tool development, placing students in one of four department laboratories: Chemistry, Immunology and Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, or Neuroscience. Participants are placed in laboratories working in their area of interest and matched with a faculty mentor accordingly. Students ...

The NSF defines Sustainable Chemistry as efforts that seek to improve the efficiency with which resources are used to meet human needs for chemical products and materials while reducing use of hazardous substances or producing waste. The sustainable chemistry focus of this REU site combines a broad cross section of disciplines attractive to students and critical for future generations. Through an active research experience, students will learn technical skills, gain research independence, ...

The REU summer research program at Texas A M University's Department of Chemistry offers undergraduate students a premier opportunity to engage in graduate-level research addressing critical challenges in sustainability, green chemistry, climate change, and human health. Participants work closely with faculty and graduate mentors on independent projects aligned with the "chemical transition," focusing on the shift from fossil fuels to sustainable precursors in the Gulf Coast region. In addition ...
